The Montana Mini-Computer (feat. Carson Gross)

Carson Gross (the creator of HTMX) joins us to demo his new project, The Montana Mini-Computer, an imaginary retro architecture created to visually show the inner workings of a CPU.

If you’d like to try out the Montana Mini-Computer yourself, you can download it from the official site. You can also browse and contribute to the source code via the public github.

If you’d like to see Carson’s meme mastery (as mentioned in the video) you can follow him on X. You can also check out his site, bigsky.software, which features links to some of his other projects, as well as his professional contact info and a collection of his essays on programming.

And as always, if you like learning about how computer hardware runs the software you write, you should subscribe to Computer Enhance! That’s basically all we talk about here. Enter your email address in this handy little box to see both our free and paid subscription options:
